Does anyone know of a way to make the mouse click on a location without actually having to have a person do it manually? I've been working on writing an auto-clicking program but it never occurred to me to see if Blitz was able to click the mouse by itself. Any help or info would be appreciated.

Someone just posted some code in the archives, for blitzmax, however, but it was easily possible with API calls.

Function SimulateMouseClick(x%, y%)
	cur_x% = MouseX():cur_y% = MouseY()
	api_SetCursorPos(x%, y%)
	api_mouse_event($0201, 0, 0, 0, 0)
	api_mouse_event($0202, 0, 0, 0, 0)
	api_SetCursorPos(cur_x%, cur_y%)
End Function

needs a .decls file, too

.lib "user32.dll"
api_SetCursorPos% (x%, y%) : "SetCursorPos"
api_mouse_event (dwFlags%, dx%, dy%, cButtons%, dwExtraInfo%) : "mouse_event"

Just read on MSD the 'mouse_event' command is not supposed to be used anymore, you're supposed to use SendInput. meh.

Let me guess, because of the new and cool OS Vista?
